Abdallah Ibn Al-Fadl

Abdallah ibn al-Fadl al-Antaki ((Arabic) عبد الله بن الفضل بن عبد الله المطران الانطاكي) was a deacon and translator active in Antioch during the middle of the 11th century, during a period of renewed Byzantine rule over the city. He was responsible for a large number of patristic translations, as well as original theological and philosophical works.

Little is known of his life, apart from what can be gleaned from manuscripts of his texts. He was a deacon and the grandson of a bishop. He received an excellent education in both Arabic and Greek, having studied Arabic grammar with the famous poet Abul ʿAla Al-Maʿarri. Several of his works and translations were commissioned by notables from Antioch and neighboring cities in Muslim territory.
